Futurity: Kim Ziegler
Absent. Kim met with Lynn Ellen and James via Zoom on Tuesday to discuss the Futurity budget( attached). They also discussed some ideas to promote the Futurity, including graduated entry fees and the addition of 2-yearold halter and lunge line classes. However, because of the change of venue this year, and some logistics with the entry system for graduated entries, the committee decided to keep the futurity classes and the $ 85 entry fee the same this year and to research some more on the graduated entry fee system. Kim will work with Rachel to expand our futurity marketing with additional postings on social media, the WSCA website, and the Spotlight. Kim has asked Sherrie Nichols to be her Vice Chair. The 2025 Futurity committee budget was presented to the board for approval.
